Also would you recommend any other cases? That case looks really ugly IMHO

Thanks for the info, and the hard work compiling it etc, Eskro.
I'm looking at this build with a 2100, and I'm looking at the motherboard. As far as I can see there's not really any motherboard features that I need - my storage will be elsewhere, so a micro ATX board will do the job, and I should just go for whatever I feel is cheapest/decent manufacturer.
Was there anything specific about the GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S2-B3 that made you select it, or is it really just the manufacturer, form factor and chipset that you went for?
